Definitions
- 2-keto-L-gulonic acid can be produced biosynthetically from D-sorbitol or L-sorbose.
- 2-keto-L-gulonic acid can be produced from D-sorbitol with the aid of microorganisms belonging to the genus Acetobacter, Bacterium or Pseudomonas which are capable of oxidizing the hydroxymethyl radical at the 1-position and the hydroxymethylene radical at the 2-position of D-sorbitol to convert those radicals into a carboxyl radical and a carbonyl radical, respectively, under aerobic conditions.
- the yield of 2-keto-L-gulonic acid is less than 6 g/l.
- 2-keto-L-gulonic acid can be accumulated in a mixed culture broth of two microorganisms, i.e. Pseudomonas striata and Gluconobacter oxydans at the concentration of 30 and 37 g/l starting from 70 g/l and 100 g/l, respectively, of L-sorbose.
- Gluconobacter oxydans alone produced trace amount of 2-keto-L-gulonic acid and Pseudomonas striata produced none at all.
- the present invention relates to a process for producing 2-keto-L-gulonic acid by fermentation with a high yield, and to 2-keto-L-gulonic acid producing microorganisms.
- 2-keto-L-gulonic acid is an important intermediate foe the production of vitamin C and can be converted into vitamin C by a one-step chemical reaction according to known processes in the art.
- the process provided by the present invention renders possible the production of 2-keto-L-gulonic acid from L-sorbose and/or D-sorbitol in high yield.
- This process comprises cultivating a microorganism belonging to the species Gluconobacter oxydans to convert L-sorbose and/or D-sorbitol into 2-keto-L-gulonic acid in a medium, the yield of 2-keto-L-gulonic acid being more than 20 g/l (e.g. more than 60 g/l under appropriate conditions) and the concentration of the substrate being in a range between 30-200 g/l , and if desired, recovering 2-keto-L-gulonic acid from the fermentation broth.
- the microorganisms used in the process of this invention are those belonging to the species Gluconobacter oxydans or mutants thereof, which have L-sorbose dehydrogenase activity so as to be able to convert L-sorbose into L-sorbosone.
- Any microorganism of the species Gluconobacter oxydans or mutants thereof which have L-sorbose dehydrogenase activity can be utilized in the process of this invention.
- the preferred microorganisms are those having L-sorbose dehydrogenase activity of 20 m units/mg cell protein and higher and most preferably those having L-sorbose dehydrogenase activity of 50 m units/mg cell protein or higher.
- the microorganisms having such a high L-sorbose dehydrogenase activity can produce 2-keto-L-gulonic acid with a high yield, e.g. more than 60 g/l.
- the L-sorbose dehydrogenase activity can be measured by the DCIP (2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol)-assay described in K. Matsushita et al. "Method in Enzymology", Vol. 89, edited by W.A. Wood, Academic Press Inc., New York, N.Y., 1982, p. 187.
- One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that catalyzed the reduction of 1 ⁇ mol of DCIP per minute under the standard assay conditions.
- Gluconobacter genus such as Gluconobacter cerinus, Gluconobacter dioxyacetonicus, Gluconobacter industrius, Gluconobacter liquefaciens, Gluconobacter melanogenes, Gluconobacter oxydans, Gluconobacter suboxydans and the like
- all of those strains were classified in one species of Gluconobacter oxydans with 4 subspecies in the 8th Edition of "Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology" 1974), i.e. oxydans, industrius, suboxydans and melanogenes.
- the mutants used in the present invention can be obtained by treating a wild type strain with a mutagen such as ultraviolet irradiation, X-ray irradiation, ⁇ -ray irradiation or contact with nitrous acid or other suitable mutagens, or by isolating a clone occurring by spontaneous mutation.
- a mutagen such as ultraviolet irradiation, X-ray irradiation, ⁇ -ray irradiation or contact with nitrous acid or other suitable mutagens
- These mutations of a wild type strain or a mutant strain thereof may be effected in any of the ways per se well known for the purpose by one skilled in the art. Many of these methods have been described in various publications, for example, "Chemical Mutagens" edited by Y. Tajima, T. Yoshida and T. Kada, published by Kodansha Scientific Inc., Tokyo, Japan, in 1973.
- Any strains belonging to the species Gluconobacter oxydans isolated from natural sources or publicly available from the collections may be employed as a parent strain for mutagenesis described in the present invention.
- the mutants according to the present invention can also be obtained by fusion of the strains belonging to the species Gluconobacter oxydans and the combination of the mutagenesis and/or fusion. Such procedures are exemplified in the following Example 1.
- the microorganisms preferably used in the present invention are Gluconobacter oxydans UV-10, Gluconobacter oxydans E-1, Gluconobacter oxydans H-2, Gluconobacter oxydans L-8, Gluconobacter oxydans U-13 or Gluconobacter oxydans Z-29 derived from the strains Gluconobacter oxydans (listed as melanogenes in the catalogue) IFO-3293 (FERM-P No. 8356). Those mutant strains have been deposited in the Agency of Industrial Science and Technology, Fermentation Research Institute, Japan under the following deposited Nos., respectively.
- the invention also includes the use of functionally equivalent mutants, variants and subcultures thereof.
- functionally equivalent it is meant that the said microorganism has L-sorbose dehydrogenase activity and produces 2-keto-L-gulonic acid at a concentration of 20 g/L or more.
- the production of 2-keto-L-gulonic acid is effected by the cultivation of a 2-keto-L-gulonic acid producing microorganism in a medium containing L-sorbose and/or D-sorbitol as well as appropriate nutrients.
- the process of this invention may also be carried out by culturing the microorganism and, after culturing, bringing the whole cell or the cell free extract collected from the culture into contact with L-sorbose and/or D-sorbitol.
- the cultivation procedure may be carried out in accordance with this invention according to conventional procedures utilizing a conventional nutrient medium.
- the microorganism may be cultured in an aqueous medium under aerobic fermentation.
- the cultivation should be conducted at a pH of about 4.0 to about 8.0, preferably from about 4.5 to 6.5.
- a preferred temperature range for carrying out the cultivation is from about 20° C. to 37° C., preferably from 25° C. to 33° C. While the time for cultivation varies depending upon the microorganisms and nutrient medium to be used, about 2 to 10 days of cultivation usually brings about the most preferable results.
- Concentration of L-sorbose and/or D-sorbitol in the medium is generally desirable to be about 30 to 200 g/l, most preferably from about 50 to 150 g/l.
- the culture medium contains such conventional nutrients for the microorganism as assimilable carbon sources, digestible nitrogen sources and preferably inorganic substances, vitamins, trace elements and other growth promoting factors.
- L-Sorbose and/or D-sorbitol per se can serve as the carbon source but other substances, which are carbon sources, may also be added.
- the substances which can be utilized as carbon sources other than L-sorbose and D-sorbitol, are included, for example, glycerol, mannitol, fructose, D-arabitol and the like.
- nitrogen sources there may be used various organic or inorganic substances such as yeast extract, meat extract, peptone, casein, corn steep liquor, urea, amino acids, nitrates, ammonium salts, and the like.
- inorganic nutrients for example, potassium phosphates, magnesium sulfate, ferrous and ferric chlorides, calcium carbonate and the like are usually employed.
- cultivation of the microorganism is carried out under similar conditions as described above.
- the whole cells are utilized to convert L-sorbose and/or D-sorbitol to 2-keto-L-gulonic acid in an aqueous medium under aerobic conditions at a pH of about 5 to 8. In this conversion, no additional nutrients are necessary.
- from about 1 to 4 days culture is preferable for obtaining the most effective cells for the conversion of L-sorbose and/or D-sorbitol to 2-keto-L-gulonic acid.
- cell free extracts from the whole culture when utilized, these cell free extracts can be used to convert L-sorbose and/or D-sorbitol to 2-keto-1-gulonic acid by treating the substrate with the cell free extracts in an aqueous medium under aerobic conditions at pH of 5 to 9. In this case, no nutrients need be present.
- the resulting 2-keto-L-gulonic acid in the reaction mixture need not be isolated, but the reaction mixture can directly be esterified, followed by enolization and lactonization and can be converted to L-ascorbic acid.
- isolation may be effected by the formation of a salt or by using differences in properties between the product and impurities such as solubility, adsorbability and distribution coefficient between two solvents.
- Use of an adsorbent such as ion exchange resins is one of the most convenient processes for isolation of the product.
- 2-keto-L-gulonic acid thus obtained is in general not pure and may be purified by conventional methods such as recrystallization and chromatography.
- a glass plate containing 2 ml of the cell suspension was kept under a UV light (254 nm, 15W) at a distance of 30 cm. After one minute of irradiation, the plate was taken out and kept in dark for 60 minutes before being spread on agar plates containing 5% L-sorbose and 1% CaCO 3 .
